Servings: 18 eggs
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • Non-stick cooking spray butter flavor
  • 18 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of canning salt

Method
 

  1. Very lightly spray a muffin tin with butter-flavored cooking spray. Wipe out excess. You don't want the eggs oily, but you do want them to release easily.
  2. Crack the eggs into a batter bowl, and add the canning salt. Do not skip the canning salt, as it prevents the eggs from freezing into a gummy or gritty texture. Although they are edible if you skip this, they will not be appetizing.
  3. Whisk until you break up all the yolks, but don't over-whisk or you will create air bubbles. I like to use a batter bowl with a pouring spout.
  4. Pour the eggs into muffin tins. If you want a whole large egg per muffin well, use regular-sized muffin tins. If you want them on the smaller size (more the size of a medium egg), use a 24-well mini muffin tin (mini sized are in the photos).
  5. Lightly spray cooking spray on aluminum foil, cover and freeze the eggs for about six hours. It's helpful to create a flat spot in your freezer before you start.
  6. After they freeze, remove the muffin tins from the freezer. Run a butter knife around the rim of each one to gently loosen--they will pop right out!
